self as thorough business man and an
active citizen. The business he con-
ducts is that of real estate, loans and
insurance, and in this line he is the
possessor of an enviable patronage.
Mr.. Smalley came to Abilene without a
cent, "dead broke" to use ordinary
language, and he is highly to be COM
mended for the manner in which he
has built himself up. He is thorough
ly self-made man, and we are proud to
say, the present competence he enjoys
is due to his advancement in this city.
He has plated several additions to the
city, one of which, Smalley's addition,
is owned by him, and is a valuable
piece of property. Mr. Smalley is
bound to rise, in worldly sense of
view, and that in the immediate future.

past eight years, and during the greater
part of that time, has been engaged in
the business which he now represents.
His business has been extensive, and
it is safe to say that, during the seven
years, he has had greater number of
transactions in his lines than any other
individual in the county during the
same period. He is thoroughly
versed in his business, and is extensive-
ly acquainted with the people and the
property of Dickinson and adjoining
counties. His facilities are ample and
he is always ready to serve his patrons.

The time to invest in real estate is
before the boom has fully matured.
Kansas has most wonderful prospect
for 1887. The building of new rail-
roads, the developing of new counties,
the increase of manufacturing and the
rush of new settlers is not confined to
any one town or county. Investors are
certain of good return on investments
in every county, as Kansas seems to be
the center of attraction for the whole
country.

To give our readers some idea of the
magnitude of this wonder of the plains,
it will be well to mention in this con-
nection, that this company, which only
commenced operations last January
now employs about 100 men in the
different branches of the business, and
at this time turns out work at the rate
of thirty-five vehicles a day. Their
pay roll reaches the snug sum of s., 200
per month at this time. 1t must be
understood that all the skilled labor
employed by this company has to be
imported from the east, and it is some
times hard to get the men they want
without some delay. 1t is very diff

The highways in Kansas, as well as
the railways, are filled with people
looking for homes. 1t is estimated
that the population of the state will be
increased by immigration this year
many thousands more than for several
years, or rather since the early rush was
made to Kansas just after the war.
The wonderful crops Kansas has pro-
duced for several successive years, in
cites immigration, and there being
much unoccupied land in the state,
there is no reason why all seeking
homes may not find happy and remun-

The reliance of Kansas is in her soil.
The state does not depend on oil wells
that may cease TO flow, or on placers
that may be washed dry, OF on quartz
veins that may pinch out. Kansas is,
as has been said, great tract of 81

Der of cultivable acres than any other
state in the Union in fact, Kansas is
the name of the largest agricultural
area on the face of the globe, inhabited
by a homogeneous population and gov
erned by the same laws. But passing
mention has been made of the coal, of
the building stone found everywhere,
and of the lead and zinc deposits, for
The Abilene reflector. [volume] (Abilene, Kan.) 1883-1888, 1887-04-21

the future of Kansas rests on the fertil-
ity of her fifty-twO million acres.
Thirty years of cultivation, in the
eastern section of the state, has noticed
no diminutiOn in the productiveness of
the soil. Kansas does not own an ex-
hausted and worn out field. OF the
81, 2ss 900 acres, only about ten million
have been broken by the pillow. If in
twenty years 1868, OOO, 900 worth of agri-
cultural products have been turned off,
with, at most, less than one-fifth of The
state under cultivation, what may be
expected during the next twenty years
while the remaining four-fifths are be-
ing converted into fenced fields and
pastures ?

are still dealing with them here. They
now have a large number of orders
ahead that they cannot fill until the
work is made. Mr.. Johns, the propri-

Kansas has 1,765 pOstofiices, over
l 100000 inhabitants, 5000 miles of
completed railway, 13,475, 495 acres of
land under cultivation, and less ignOr-

sas any person who is legally qualified,
can take $50 acres of land under the
